Chapter 487
As soon as these words left Caroline's lips, the entire living room fell into silence, and everyone's hearts were in their mouths.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Kylee.
Kylee frowned in anger. "Caroline, how can you say such words? You said that Elliana was not your daughter. She is an impostor. Didn't you take a paternity test? Before? It said that Elliana was your daughter, and now you..."
"Kylee, of course, Elliana is my daughter, but..."
Caroline still wanted to say something, but Madisyn beside her had already reprimanded her in a low voice. "Stop it! Caroline, don't say anymore."
Caroline looked at Madisyn angrily. "Do you want me to shut up? Do you want that woman to pretend to be our daughter forever? I..."
"Enough, Caroline. You should stop it before you go too far!"
Madisyn's face darkened. Caroline could tell that he was getting enraged.
Because of the anger on Madisyn's face, Caroline calmed herself down a little bit and became sober.
Back then, Audrey had been brought here for the sake of Kylee's illness. If the truth was exposed now, Kylee's illness might suddenly take a turn for the worse. Just now, she felt uncomfortable at her daughter Elliana being mentioned repeatedly. Therefore, she almost exposed the truth. If she told the truth just now, she was afraid... she had to suffer the consequences.
Thinking of this, she had no choice but to shut up.
Kylee could not hide the anger on her face.
"Caroline, ever since you came back from abroad, you've had a prejudice against Elliana!" Kylee added with a straight face, "Elliana is just a child. She used to be willful to run abroad and lived there for a few years. But now she's back. Even if you're still angry with her, you should let bygones be bygones. Moreover, she is your biological daughter. How can you be so mean?"
Caroline was speechless.
Hearing Kylee's words, Caroline wanted to talk back, but she had to bite her tongue considering Madisyn was present.
Under Madisyn's intense gaze, Caroline lowered her head and apologized to Kylee. "Sorry, I'm wrong. Don't be angry."
"If you don't want me to be angry, stop being mean to Elliana in the future. Sometimes, when I see Elliana walk on eggshells around you, I feel sorry for her."
Caroline sucked it up and nodded. "I see."
"Alright, the day after tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Day. Elliana will come back to celebrate the festival with us. Remember to be nice to her. She used to like eating the pastries you made the most. You'd better make some for her to heal your relationship."
Caroline was speechless.
Caroline had to nod seeing Madisyn's gaze. "Okay, I will do it."
When Kylee heard this, a smile appeared on her face. However, Caroline pulled a long face.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
She thought to herself, "It's already hard for me to please a woman who pretends to be my daughter, but now... Kylee even asks me to make Elliana's favorite food. I can't bear it."
...
After Kylee fell asleep, Madisyn and Caroline returned to their room. Caroline snapped at Madisyn when the door was closed.
"You find a chance to tell your mom that I won't make any pastries the day after tomorrow."
Madisyn frowned.
"Didn't you say yes before? Why did you suddenly eat your words?"
"Don't you understand that?" Caroline continued through her gritted teeth. "Audrey is just a hussy pretending to be our daughter. How could I possibly make pastries for her? The Mid-Autumn banquet is our family dinner. An impostor like her shouldn't appear at our family banquet. When the day comes, I will tell the guards to shut her out."
"Caroline, what's wrong with you? Didn't we agree before? What are you doing now? If you shut Audrey out, have you ever thought of my mom? Wouldn't she think that we couldn't forgive Elliana?"
"Audrey pretended to be my daughter and lied to us. Do I have to smile at her? She is not welcome here. An impostor had no right to be our family member."
"Even if she isn't our daughter, she is Bryson's girlfriend. And she will marry Bryson one day and become our daughter-in-law."
Caroline frowned at Madisyn. "What? Does she want to marry into our family? Madisyn, don't blame me for not warning you. I can tolerate her pretending to be our daughter for the sake of Kylee. However, I will never approve her of marrying our son."
"It's none of our business. As parents, we can't decide everything." Madisyn consoled Caroline. "Audrey is good-look with a kind heart. She and Bryson are quite compatible."
Caroline looked at Madisyn with disbelief.
At this time, Madisyn was already sided with Audrey.
She couldn't believe Audrey had won Madisyn and Bryson over except for Kylee.
Caroline turned around angrily. "I don't care how much you like Audrey. Bryson wants to stay with Audrey, over my dead body!"
Madisyn was speechless.
"Caroline!" Madisyn held onto Caroline's shoulders and wanted to say something to her, but Caroline suddenly turned around and dodged Madisyn's hands.
She said coldly, "I will sleep in the guest room tonight."
Madisyn was speechless.
Caroline resolutely opened the door and walked out. There was an expression of fierce determination on her face.
She would never let Audrey marry into the Cordova family. In her eyes, only Brisa was good enough to deserve Bryson.
Madisyn looked at the closed door and could only sigh helplessly.
Caroline did not like Audrey. It was difficult for her to change her attitude in a short time.
Time would reveal a person's heart. Caroline would eventually realize Audrey was a nice girl.
...
The next morning, the court case between the Randall Group and Fida Trading Company began.
Audrey arrived at the court early in the morning and changed into a lawyer's uniform.
After a while, the relevant staff from the Fida Trading Company also came to the court. When Warden saw Audrey, he found an excuse to leave and took an opportunity to talk to Audrey.
"Audrey, when today's trial is over, I hope you don't forget our agreement."
Audrey smiled and raised her eyebrows. "Sure!"
